Review: Daisys Marshmallows (coconut malibu)

Part of our WMVF hoard was a tub of Daisys vegan marshmallows in Coconut & Malibu flavour. That flavour description was all we needed to hand over our cash and squirrel these away for review. Daisys is an artisan producer of gelatine-free marshmallows run by Lynda Marshall who sells the marshmallows to raise funds for animal rescue:

The texture of these is fantastic - firm but squishy and soft to the bite. The first ingredient is carrageenan and that told us that these would probably toast well...so we popped them on a skewer and melted them over a flame. The results were really good - probably the best vegan marshmallows we've tried to melt.

What's slightly disappointing is in intensity of that Malibu flavour...or rather the lack of it. The desiccated coconut is there...but there's really no hint of the coconut-rum flavour of Malibu. This is the same whether straight from the tub, or melted over a flame...we were so looking forward to a smack of Malibu rum but there was none to be had.

The great texture and sweet toasted meltability of these marshmallows makes up for the weak coconut flavour and we can certainly recommend Daisys as source of top notch vegan marshmallows.
